Thanks Nicole,
I love Alien invasion movie mostly because each director has a different piece of mind on what would happen and how they look.

I saw it yesterday and I was really really impressed with it!!! It was a bit suspensful in a couple of parts too but not really too scary. I loved the way that ended cause it wasnt one of those 'America saves the world' kinda movies like Independence Day, it was such a good storyline.  9/10 for me |

Trey you must have missed the fine print in the credits at the end of The War of the Worlds where it stated that "The bacteria used to kill the Martians was grown in the United States Defense Department's secret biological labs and is only harmful to aliens and not human beings". They had to put that disclaimer in the movie so people would not be afraid.  |

Somewhat reluctantly saw this yesterday (I cannot stand Tom Cruise lately but I like Steven Spielberg and the movie was free thanks to my job) and came away with mixed feelings. I wasn't overly impressed. It was definitely a bit scary/suspenseful at times (I'm glad I knew the ending!) although I'm a wimp at those sorts of movies. Tom was fine--he can do the action hero role pretty well and Dakota was fabulous (quite a talented actress). Tim Robbins was quite creepy in it and I wish Miranda had a bigger role. The special effects were fantastic. Not really my type of movie so just a so so review from me I guess. Still, if you like action movies this one is better than many I'd guess.

Sorry to burst your bubble Mark! If you read H.G. Well's book War of the Worlds or saw the first movie from 1953 you would have know about this and I am glad Spielberg held true to the book's demise of the Martians. Hey buddy you have quit working so hard and get out there to the movies a little more often.  |

I think this is what you are thinking of.
The Day That Panicked America: The H.G. Wells War Of The Worlds Scandal.
On the night before Halloween 1938, in Newark, New Jersey, more than twenty families in a single block rushed from their homes with wet towels over their faces, fleeing from what they believed was a poison gas raid. Elsewhere in New York traffic became gridlocked amid scenes of genuine terror as people sought to escape imminent attack. Across America phone-lines were overloaded as thousands called the police, newspapers and radio stations, seeking advice on protective measures, with many requiring medical treatment for shock. But what precisely had caused so many normally discriminating U.S. citizens to fear that their world was literally coming to an end? They had fallen victim to a hoax perpetrated by none other than Orson Welles with his radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' sci-fi classic 'War Of The Worlds'.
i think back then it would have been easy to be fooled.

I just saw this today. I know it been close to a year since the release but I just got up to courage to rent it  I did really enjoy this movie. Kept me on the end of my seat I'll tell you all that but it was really, really good. I'll probably be on edge when we have a storm from now on but that just means the movie worked |
